Warm Weekend Ahead; Isolated Storms
An all new edition of the ABC 33/40 Weather Xtreme video is available in the player on the right sidebar of the blog. You can subscribe to the Weather Xtreme video on iTunes by clicking here.
WORKING FOR THE WEEKEND: Our rather tame weather pattern rolls along. Temperatures this afternoon are generally in the mid 80s, and we have a few isolated storms over the Tennessee Valley of extreme North Alabama. Showers that pop up this afternoon will fade fast once the sun goes down later this evening.
TOMORROW AND SUNDAY: No real change. Highs well up into the 80s, and the risk of isolated showers and storms during the afternoon and evening hours. The chance of any one spot getting wet will remain in the 10 to 20 percent range.
NEXT WEEK: Still looking at some potential for an increase in the number of scattered showers and storms on Tuesday with a weak surface front approaching from the northwest, but the front will dissipate before bringing any cooler air to Alabama, and the GFS is printing highs around 90 Wednesday through Friday. See the Weather Xtreme video for long range ideas and details.
WEEKEND AT THE BEACH: We are projecting about 8 to 10 hours of sunshine each day along the Gulf Coast from Panama City west to Gulf Shores today through Sunday, with highs in the low to mid 80s. A few isolated showers or storms could form each day, but rain shouldn’t be a big issue, and showers won’t last long where they develop. The sea water temperature along the coast is very close to 80 degrees. Keep in mind the hurricane season for the Atlantic basin begins on June 1.
WEATHER BRAINS: Don’t forget you can listen to our weekly 90 minute netcast anytime on the web, or on iTunes. This is the show all about weather featuring many familiar voices, including our meteorologists here at ABC 33/40.
CONNECT: You can find me on all of the major social networks…
My next Weather Xtreme video will be posted bright and early Monday morning by 7:00… Brian Peters will have the video updates tomorrow and Sunday. Enjoy the weekend!
